Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site
In
May, 1741, two enslaved men, Kofi and Qwaku, were tried by the New York Supreme
Court. Both men were accused of "wickedly, voluntarily, feloniously and
maliciously conspiring, combining, and confederating...with divers other Negroes,
to kill and murder inhabitants of this city..." We may be more familiar with
other large scale slave insurrections such as Nat Turner's in Virginia, or the
Stono Rebellion in South Carolina, or the Haitian Revolution, or the events
surrounding the Amistad. However, decades before the American Revolution, New
York City was the epicenter of two rebellions. Join historian and Philipse
Manor Hall's Site Director, Michael Lord as he discusses the Great Plot of 1741
and how the City's enslaved community was able to plan and coordinate such a
large and dangerous conspiracy. This program is free, but registration is
required. Learn more and register at www.philipsemanorhall.com/programs-and-events.
